What to expect
We expect about 1.5 goals from Lorient and 1.3 from Brest, so Lorient come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Lorient come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.5-1.3), and we make both teams to score about 60%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.
We put the chance of that landing at about 60 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.73, which works out at about 58 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
